Melanzane Parmigiana

By Abigail Donnelly

Easy
20 minutes
20 - 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 large brinjals
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 1 x 200 g packet ready-made cheese sauce
  • 200 g packet readymade tomato sauce
  • Parmesan
  • Bread

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Slice large brinjals lengthways into 2 cm thick slices, then pan-fry in hot olive oil for 2 minutes a side.

Season, then layer in a large ovenproof dish, dividing a  packet of ready-made cheese sauce and a packet of ready-made tomato sauce between the layers.

Top with grated Parmesan, then bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Serve with lots of crusty bread.

Cook's note: here's a recipe for mock Parmesan if you are avoiding dairy.
